Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Indian shuttlers Saina Nehwal and Kidambi Srikanth for winning the women's and men's singles titles, respectively, at the China Open Super Series Premier in Fuzhou Sunday.

While Saina clinched the women's title of the $700,000 event, compatriot Srikanth grabbed all the headlines by pulling off the biggest triumph of his career when he upset two-time Olympic champion Lin Dan in the final.

Sixth seeded Saina won her second Super Series title of 2014, after the Australian Open in June, by overcoming Japanese Akane Yamaguchi 21-12, 22-20 in 42 minutes, to be followed by Srikanth, who stunned the five-time World Champion Chinese 21-19, 21-17 in 46 minutes at the Haixia Olympic Sport Center.
